Brilliantly said, couldn’t agree more.

I have at least 20+ notebooks filled with random thoughts and letters that were never sent… on purpose, numerous PC directories containing parts of books and presentations on various subjects in different states of done, several mind-mapping programs which follow ideas to varying degrees of completeness and what did it get me:

• A successful career which barely resembles what I thought I would be doing when I left school.
• The mindset necessary to pivot from what I am doing now to the next logical step in my progression and ability to leverage all that is available to me, especially when things get hard… and believe me, things will get hard.
• A love for what I am doing and a thirst for what’s coming next.

I read all the time but it is my private writing habit that has had the greatest effect on, well, everything. There is no telling how it will effect you, only that it will be beneficial.

For those of you who do not write, do yourself a favor: Just start.
